Abstract EN
This paper describes relationships among home and community environmental features, activity performance in the home, and community participation potential to support aging in place.
A subset of data on older adults with functional limitations (N=122), sixty three (63) with mobility and 59 with other limitations, were utilized in this study from a larger project's subject pool.
Results showed significant and positive correlations between environmental barriers, activity dependence and difficulty at home, and less community participation in the mobility limitation group.
While kitchen and bathroom features were most limiting to home performance, bathtub or shower was the only home feature, and destination social environment was the only community feature, that explained community participation.
Compared to environmental features, home performance explained much more community participation.
Study results provide detailed information about environmental features as well as types of home activities that can be prioritized as interventions for aging in place.
